I often see people talking about the fact that they like a certain open-source application, but 'it's a shame it's on Electron'; what does this mean? Is it a privacy thing or a resource thing?

So, I assume there’s not an Electron alternative that is able to port internet desktop applications without any privacy or resource issues?

There is Tauri which is very similar but claims to have a lower resource usage and be more secure.
